The situation was like this. We went to Bulgaria to work on biometrics (the country is not in Schengen), it turned out that this is possible. The employer registered us in the pension fund and so on. Then he offered to stay until the end of the season, that is. for another 1.5 months, promising that the extension of the deadlines would not violate the law, saying that their lawyers would organize everything from their side. A network of four star hotels, establishments are very solid and we believed. When leaving at the border, the border guard said that we had violated the emigration terms of stay and had to pay a fine of 500 lev, but immediately added that everything could be settled for 50 euros per person. We decided to act purely according to the law, declaring that supposedly there was no money with us at that time, let him draw it up. I was in no hurry to draw up, we stood for an hour, then again the dialogue, in the end I agreed to 30 euros from each. Without filling anything, having paid, we went further. The border guard said that there would be no mark on the computer about our violation.

Who will tell you now where you were deceived if there are no documents on hand?
Good luck, and after all, they are no longer students to grab adrenaline by working illegally abroad ... If they had issued work visas, they would not have warmed their heads now.

The fact of the matter is that the first 3 months of labor activity were absolutely legal. Therefore, it is quite logical that no one bothered with the design of what was not necessary.

"the first 3 months of work were absolutely legal"
Do I understand correctly that for this period there are work visas for Bulgaria in the passports?

ollennka Most likely not, it seems to me that when they arrived in Bulgaria on a tourist visa-free basis, they stayed there legally for 3 months (90 days) and worked not legally, but for a month and a half and stayed and worked illegally, but the overdue stay in the European Union, it seems to me, should be in the general database will appear, I'm not sure, but still.

No. Bulgaria is not in the Schengen area. There are nuances. At the border at the entrance (on the way to work), they announced the purpose of the visit, presented contracts, and in the process they even contacted the consul in Bulgaria, and yet in local legislation there is the possibility of working for up to 3 months without visas. Also, in the course of their work, they were registered in the "pension fund". Periodically, patrols stopped on the street, they checked documents (passports), they were interested in the purpose of the visit, no one hid anything, they told it like it was. Like all without pretensions. Of all the people I met (and quite a lot of students from Belarus and Ukraine come there for the season for the purpose of seasonal employment), no one had work visas. That's why I asked this question on this site.
When leaving, the border guard did not want to draw up a protocol (according to the rules and obligations), but made him wait for more than an hour, offering to give him a bribe, after which everything would be sorted out and, as if nothing had happened, we could return to Bulgaria again.

Okay, then the question is: is it possible to check the fact of violation of migration laws while at home? Or will it be found out when applying for a visa?

The consulate is unlikely to help, I conclude from a recent case, a person (not a CIS citizen) with problematic stamps in his passport had to go to Belarus for a week, but he was afraid that they would not let him in, went to the embassy with this question, they said they did not have such information , and you need to contact the border service of Belarus, they gave a website and a hotline. I think in the case of Bulgaria you can do the same.
